Dayton 8" install (pics)

[~Magick_Man~ 10+ year member]

well i got in my new mids a couple days ago and got them installed this weekend.

i am not finished yet, i still need to build some sort of grill onto the door panel to cover them up but the speakers are in and sound great.

i didnt get many pics of the doors while i was installing them because i was in a hurry and just didnt take any.

they seem really hard to beat for the price.

well unfortunately yes i did, i didnt have to cut the metal much which is nice.

and yes they sound really nice, now i just need a mid--range driver so i can cut off these at 4-500 and have the mid range's play up to the tweets.

looks good

thanks.

Hot damm, those are some nice little 8'' drivers. I would never be able to make room for them in my car, but I will definately consider those for my upcomming home audio setup.

Anyone ever tinker with these in sealed applications?

surprisingly they dont

i hear the occasional rattle but for the most part the doors are silent which makes me happy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

How many watts are goin to them?

somewhere between 75 and 100.

Where do you have them crossed over?

they are running from 63 up to about 1.5Khz.

when i get my sub i might raise it to 80 but we'll see.

and i want to put in a mid-range then limit these to about 400 having the midrange playing up to 3-4khz.
